Oh I love that song "bend me shape me....."
Great tracks! Reminds me to check out Suze Rotolo's new memoir re: Dylan and the Village.
Wouldn't it be great to get a baker's dozen doughnuts on Friday the 13th, while wearing #13 on your jersey?
When I hear "Going Up the Country", I can almost see Kermit the Frog throwing his head back and waving his arms frantically as he sings the song.
I didn't know that about #10! I love that song.
Every time I think of that song "Bend Me, Shape Me," I sing it like "Bend me shape me any way you want me...don't come back from dead man's curve!" When I was little I used to memorize the K-Tel compilation commercials, so there are certain songs that I don't know in their entirety, so I always associate them with other songs. Like "Beach Baby" and "Hitchin' a Ride." Weird.
Hey, you're a big music fan...I have a lyrics quiz up now that everyone is shying away from. You may want to try your luck. I had to make it easier, but a lot of people still aren't able to get them!
I remember when I saw that clip for "Bend Me, Shape Me" for the first time on this 10-part documentary called "The Golden Age of Rock and Roll". I still crack up when the drummer picks up the horn near the end of the song and "plays" it.
I saw where you mentioned on BeckEye's blog that you are doing fairly well on her music lyrics quiz. If you are into pop culture trivia in general, I post a game every Tuesday. Check it out if you have the time.
